Hi everyone,
Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:
Computers 2
On Monday, we will review the first project in Publisher. On Tuesday, we will take a test over the first project. On Wednesday, we will start the second project, about brochures, together. We will work on this for the rest of the week.
Business Concepts
Monday and Tuesday, students will complete a budget webquest; determining the cost of living for their individual financial situations. On Tuesday, we will also review chapter 5 over budgeting. On Wednesday, we will take a test over the chapter and I will collect notes. On Thursday and Friday, we will start the next chapter over checking accounts. There should not be any outside homework.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

Week of March 24
Hi everyone,
I will not be at school on Monday. Here is what I have planned for the first week of the fourth quarter:
Computers 2
On Monday, students will be paired up and given one class period to interview their partners and create a short PowerPoint sharing the partner's likes/dislikes and future plans. On Tuesday, we will start Publisher, working through the first project together, and learning how the new program works. There will be no outside homework.
Business Concepts
On Monday, students will read an article about student loans and complete an accompanying worksheet. On Tuesday, we will start discussing the importance of budgeting. This will continue the rest of the week, with students viewing sample budgets and beginning a budget for life after high school. This chapter is quite short and as a result, chapter study guides will be due on Friday for 4th and 6th hours and on Monday for 9th hour (we have 11:45 dismissal on Friday).
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

Week of March 17
Hi everyone,
This week will likely be a bit crazy. I'm one of the directors for the high school play scheduled for March 21 and 22. I'll be out all day setting up for the play on Wednesday. Hope you can come out and see The Mouse That Roared! The students have been working very hard the last few months to put on a great performance.
Here is what I have planned for this week:
Computers 2
I decided not to start Publisher last week, because many students needed more time to finish their PowerPoint projects. This week, we will view each student's PowerPoint in class. The remainder of the week, students will watch a movie about Steve Jobs and learn about some Web 2.0 tools they can use for a variety of projects. There will be no homework this week.
Business Concepts
We will continue with taxes this week. Students will complete review sheets and learn about other types of taxes, such as excise and sales taxes. While I'm working on the play Wednesday, students will watch Shark Tank, which has turned into one of their favorite activities. They really get into the different business ideas. On Thursday, we will review the taxes chapter and on Friday students will take a test over the chapter and turn in their notes.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of March 10
Hi everyone,
We have two weeks left in the third quarter. The original ending date was pushed back a week due to the number of snow days. Here is what I have planned for this week:
Computers 2
Students will work on their individual PowerPoints Monday-Wednesday. Any student who needs additional time to complete his/her project will need to arrange to come in during enrichment and use the computers. After I have graded all of the projects, they will be shown to the class. I'm not sure if we will get to that this week, but if not we will see them early next week.
On Thursday and Friday,we will do some fun computer activities before we start Publisher next week. There will likely be some extra credit involved.
Business Concepts
This week is all about taxes. Students will fill out a W-4 form and 1040EZs. Just a reminder to bring in W-2s. Students can do their taxes in class. 4.1 and 4.2 study guides will be due on Friday.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

Week of March 3
Hi everyone,
Hopefully, this will be our last snow day of the school year. I think everyone is just ready for spring at this point. Here is what I have scheduled for the week:
Computers 2
Students are working on their individual PowerPoint projects. The project can be on just about any topic, and students seem to enjoy working on them and being creative. The project is worth 120 points. At the end of the week, I'll see what kind of progress everyone has made to determine if they need more class time to work next week.
Business Concepts
On Tuesday, we will review chapter 3. On Wednesday, there will be a test over the chapter and I will collect notes. On Thursday, we will start the next chapter over taxes. There should not be any outside homework this week. Students are encouraged to bring their W-2s to class and fill out their tax return.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.
